GMA reports: The forensics team of the Public Attorney’s Office went to Bagac, Bataan to exhume the remains of 11-year-old John Paul Rafael and subject them to forensic examination, according to a report on News To Go by Chino Gaston.PAO will also exhume the remains of another student who likewise died of dengue.

The forensics team, however, had difficulty checking if there was massive bleeding in Rafael’s internal organs since it has been almost two years since the boy passed away in April 2016.

Massive bleeding and inflammation of internal organs were detected in the remains of five other dengue victims who were vaccinated with Dengvaxia.

PAO forensics chief Dr. Erwin Erfe, however, said they discovered staining in the skull of Rafael, which may indicate that bleeding occurred prior to death.

The team retrieved tissue samples for further examination in a laboratory.

Cristina Ramirez, an aunt of Rafael, said the family decided to allow the exhumation to determine the cause of the boy’s death.

One of the causes of death given, she said, was congenital heart disease, said to be a preexisting condition of the boy.

Rafael exhibited the same symptoms as the other victims who died of dengue—stomachache, lethargy, and bleeding.

His family wants those behind the vaccination drive to be held accountable.

They also hope Rafael’s case will serve as a warning to other parents whose children also received the Dengvaxia vaccine.

Dengvaxia manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur admitted in November 2017 that individuals who have not contracted dengue prior to inoculation of the anti-dengue vaccine may develop a severe disease in the future.
